PILOT: Medevac 305.

Currently eight miles outbound

heading 07-niner with information whiskey.

Altitude 1,500 feet.

NURSE: Chopper 305,

I'm heading up to the roof now. Over.

Roger that. Medevac 305 approaching the pad.

Medevac, I see you!

MANNY: It's weird.

What's that?

The place where this heart's coming from,

that was a tragedy.

But once we land, it's gonna turn into a miracle, right?

(chuckles softly)

Yeah. I like that.

Miracle incoming.

Ah, I can't see the pad. Hang on!

Pulling up!

What the hell?

I've lost the whole tail rotor.

Hang on!

Generator should've kicked in automatically.

Something's wrong.

-(thudding above) -(shouting, clamoring)

That came from the roof.

Let's go.

The generators will have to wait.

EDDIE: Window washing cables. This thing's holding on

-by a thread, Cap. -118, I want ropes,

webbing and the heavy winch on the rooftop, double-time.

-We're not waiting for any of that, right? -No!

First thing we do is get those rotors turned off.

Hen, Buck, you check that cabin

and see what we got. Eddie, you're with me.

(coughing)

Kid! Can you hear me?!

Can't move.

Chim, this is Hen.

I need you to bring me a backboard and C-collar

-from inside. -Copy that.

Hang in there, kid, we're gonna put this fire out

and then get you out, okay?

It's slipping!

(grunting)

-Help me! -We're okay! We're okay!

We're okay. You're okay.

Wh-What's your name?

-Manny. -Manny?

How long you been a paramedic?

-Been at it almost a month. -Oh, wow.

You're lucky, Manny!

It was a while before I got to see any real action.

This ain't quite the action I was hoping for.

You're gonna be okay, kid.

Buck, let's get the pilot out of here!

(grunting)

Here.

Backboard!

-Hen, what do we got? -Spinal.

I'm guessing cervical.

We need to flip him on this backboard.

-That's a two-person job. -EDDIE: I'm available!

Trick is, how do we do that here?

The backboard's long enough to cover this opening.

-You're gonna flip me over the window? -I know.

-It's not optimal. -No, very not optimal!

Listen, it'll work. Strap him in.

We'll figure out a way to pull him out.

All right, flip him on three.

One, two, three!

(grunts)

-How you doing, Manny? -Breathing's good.

Pulse feels right.

-Okay. -I can move my fingers.

Not my toes.

That's good, Manny.

You're making our job very easy.

Thanks for that.

Good job.

Eddie!

Secure this to the board.

-All set, Cap! -Okay, we're all set!

Go!

Wait!

The heart!

This is a transplant flight!

EDDIE: I got it.

Hen!

(Hen groans)

You worry about that later. Let's get him out.

EDDIE: Go, Hen, come on!

Get him up over that ledge!

Easy! Easy!

(shouting, clamoring)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

(shouting, clamoring)

Feels like it's about to go, Hen!

Come on!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

(grunting)

HEN: Looks like he's lost sensation in his lower extremities.

Possible spinal cord injury. He needs cold fluids right away.

CHIMNEY: Once we get the generators running, prep for a CT

and put him in a cold OR.

-The winch is here, Cap. -No time for that.

DOCTOR: That was amazing.

Any chance you can do a transplant in the dark?

We'll get the generators running.

And I bet by the time we do,

the city will have the power back on.

REPORTER: News of the hour on the hour.

After a massive ransomware attack

on the city's infrastructure,

Angelenos head into day five of record heat

and a citywide power outage.

At this hour, the death toll has reached 15,

Michael, are you having a party?

No.

You know, it's more like a gathering.

Just a few neighbors.

When I invited you and David to stay at the house with Harry,

I didn't expect for you to throw a party.

Well, this is the only house in the neighborhood

that has a generator.

People came over to charge their devices,

you know, put stuff in the freezer.

Look, just don't eat the steaks.

We paid a small fortune for them.

Uh... (stammers)

(whispers): Put these in the freezer.

-Hey, Athena. -(chuckles) Anyway...

it's actually really nice here.

-Not until the power's back on. -What's that?

Uh, nothing.

Hey, Athena, I got to go.

All right, talk to you later, okay?

What'd I miss?

Did you give Harry this money?

DAVID: Because that's something you've known me to do.

Spill it.

Okay, I may

have been charging the neighbors to come in.

Just five dollars.

That's a deal considering what they get.

Electricity, all-you-can-eat food.

Harry Grant...

I want you to give every cent of this money back.

You hear me? We are not trying to turn a profit here.

But, Dad...

No, we are here to help people, okay?

Not take advantage of them in their moment of need.

That's not what good neighbors do, son.

Go now.

And pass out some waters while you're at it.

And don't charge anybody for 'em.

(indistinct radio chatter)

How can I help you, Officer?

My name's Sergeant Grant. I got a call over my radio

that someone here was looking for me?

It was a little unclear.

-ZIMMERMAN: Sergeant Athena Grant? -That's right.

I'm Dr. Zimmerman. Can you come with me?

He was brought in five days ago.

Some kids found him in MacArthur Park.

His throat was cut.

Looked like he'd been dumped there-- no wallet, no ID.

He lost a lot of blood, and we were able to repair the wound,

but it caused a stroke.

We didn't think he was gonna make it.

This morning he came to long enough to write this.

Sergeant Grant, do you know this man?

ATHENA: Lou. Oh, my God.

Yes.

Yes, I do.

AUTOMATED VOICE: You've reached the Los Angeles County Jail.

Currently all representatives are busy.

-Wha...? -I'm still on hold.

The jail's computer systems are down just like

everybody else's. They're doing a head count.

Five days, Elaine.

He's been in the hospital for nearly five days.

How is it that no one noticed that he was missing?

We were a little preoccupied with the world ending.

I should've checked in with him.

I should have... I should have followed up.

Why would you have?

The last time you spoke, he had Hudson in custody.

It was a done deal. You didn't have any reason to.

Currently all representatives are busy.

He might not wake up again.

That's what they're saying.

-WOMAN: Cap, are you there? -Yes.

Yeah, we swept the building-- he's not here.

-You sure? -We are sure, ma'am.

Very sorry, I'll let you know if anything...

All right. Thank you.

-Yeah. -(hangs up phone)

Jeffery Hudson's not in his cell.

-Son of a bitch! -You were right.

He didn't even make it back to Men's Central.

He's still out there-- and with a five-day

head start this time.

Tasha, have you had any word back from Lila Risco?

Not yet, Captain. Still trying.

-I'll send a unit. -No, I'd send more than a unit.

She was there when Lou took Hudson into custody.

There's a reason we haven't heard from her.

Refrigerator is off-line and off limits starting this afternoon.

I don't think it was to get a refund on his retainer.

You think they were lovers.

Besides, there's a good chance he never even shows.

Is it bad that I hope he does?

I hope that for you too, baby.

Bobby Nash.

Did you just say you hoped I come face to face

with a dangerous escaped fugitive tonight?

I believe I did.

Well, that might be the sweetest thing

you have ever said to me.

I want you to be the one who gets him.

Except this time, don't shoot him in the leg.

Oh, I'm gonna aim higher

and empty the clip.

Believe that.

Got to call you back.

I just got some very esteemed reinforcements.

Be safe.

Well, this might be an LAPD first.

Don't think I've ever seen a captain on a stakeout.

That's why I left my bars at the station.

Captain, what are you doing here?

Eh, you know, one way or another

Hudson is responsible for slicing up one of my guys

and putting him on life support, so...

at this point, it's personal.

(chuckles)

So I'm relieving you.

(exhales)

Respectfully, Captain...

thanks but no thanks. I'm not leaving.

Yes, you are.

Ransone is awake.

And he's asking for you again.

We were able to extubate him a few hours ago,

but he hasn't been able to speak.

He's still got the pen and paper, though, which tells me

the stroke hasn't significantly impaired

-his cognitive abilities. -That is good news.

I heard you were looking for me.

(sobs)

(grunting)

You save your strength, Lou.

But it is...

damn good to see you too.

Yeah, we found her dead.

Gunshot wound. Probably...

two days old.

I figured it.

I just put the pieces together a little too late.

I'm so sorry I wasn't there, Lou.

In the wind.

Again.

More like some hunches.

Maynard thinks he's probably long gone by now,

but I'm not so sure of that.

I think that's our best chance of catching him.

We have surveillance units posted

at all the victims' houses.

And we're waiting for him.

(grunting)

My house? What about it?

No, no, it's okay, Lou, it's okay.

You're...

victim...

too.

These people aren't leaving.

(groans)

I should've let Harry

-charge them by the hour. -(chuckles)

Guess you're regretting that "we're supposed to help

our neighbors in their time of need" speech?

Yeah, well, technically, they're not

-my neighbors anymore. -Ooh.

-Hmm? -(laughs)

(indistinct chatter)

No. Mom has to work until the emergency's over.

That's too bad.

I was really hoping to see her.

(chuckles softly)

(phone ringing)

Athena?

Bobby, I'm on my way to the house,

but I'm still ten minutes out. Can you get there before me?

Well, I can try. Traffic is

pretty clogged here by the firehouse.

Aren't Michael and David there with Harry?

They're not picking up.

Bobby...

I was so worried about Jeffery Hudson going after

one of his victims that I forgot...

You're one of them, too.

I'm on my way.

-Chim. -What's up, Bobby?

Here, you're in charge. I'm taking the captain's truck.

I will explain later.

What? What's going on?

(engine starts)

-(phone ringing) -Elaine, I'm almost home.

I'm five minutes away.

And I managed to get some units out there.

Do not go in there alone.

-I don't think that's an option. -Athena!

The last time you went in without backup,

it did not end well.

People keep talking to me about the last time.

I no longer have the luxury to dwell on that.

Michael? You here?

(glass breaks in distance)

-Hands up! Don't move! -No, no, no! Athena, it's me!

-It's me, it's me, it's me! -Michael, what the hell?!

-I almost shot you! -Yeah, I can see that.

Now, what the hell is going on?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

Where is everyone? Why is the house so dark?

-I thought you had people here. -The generator went out.

Everybody left. (chuckles)

Goes to show you who your friends are, right?

-Ah! And let there be light. -(exhales)

Oh good. We're back.

Wait, did it just out of gas?

No, it was unplugged.

Someone must have kicked out a plug by accident.

MAYNARD: Athena?

-Everything okay? -He's not here.

Who's not here?

Would somebody mind telling me what in the hell is going on?

Michael.

Where's Harry?

Uh, he was just here.

Uh, there's his phone.

(gasps)

(indistinct radio chatter)

Residents only.

You're gonna have to turn around or show some ID.

Sorry about that, Detective.

We've had some reports of break-ins.

Can never be too careful.
